At Rare Genomics, we are more than just an organization. We are a community dedicated to helping rare disease patients find hope for a cure.

We work alongside patients and their families, providing them with the necessary tools, knowledge, and connections so that they can better understand the cause of their disease.

We bring together scientists, entrepreneurs, innovators, and professionals, who share our passion for helping rare disease patients and leverage the crowdfunding capabilities of the Internet to bring the hope of a cure to our patients.
